Kutarba: The president is not a traitor, but he will lose with the veto

The article discusses the political implications of the President's veto and the government's strategy to bypass it.

The article revolves around the recent political turmoil in Poland concerning the President's veto and its repercussions. It argues that the veto is primarily a political maneuver influenced by potential personal gains rather than constitutional adherence. Despite the veto, the government has initiated steps to sidestep the President's objections, demonstrating its capability to advance without parliamentary approval, where rejection of the veto would have been impossible anyway.

Furthermore, the article highlights the accusations from the presidential faction against the government for allegedly violating the Constitution. This threat, however, is portrayed as largely empty, as historical precedents show that few politicians have been held accountable by the State Tribunal in Poland. Most citizens are aware of this ineffectiveness, leading to skepticism about the seriousness of the threats made by the presidential side.

Despite the ongoing disputes, the article asserts that a deal with the European Union is set to be concluded in the near future. It also indicates that the Ministry of National Defence will soon start signing contracts for military procurement, further underscoring that the political showdown will not halt essential governmental functions.
